Objective:To determine the reference interval of IL-10 level in cerebrospinal fluid of adults using multiplex bead-based flow fluorescent immunoassay(MBFFI).Methods:A total of 743 patients without tumor were involved and grouped by diagno-sis.Cerebrospinal fluid and plasma IL-10 were tested by MBFFI.Results:①Cerebrospinal fluid IL-10 levels of the central nervous system infection group were higher than those of other groups.②The cranial venous sinus thrombosis(CVST)group without tumor,in-fection or inflammatory disease were chosen as nearly normal population.As the distribution of cerebrospinal fluid IL-10 levels in these 250 CVST patients were skewed,95％cut-off level was chosen as upper limit and cerebrospinal fluid IL-10<3.50 pg/ml was the refer-ence interval.③No correlation was found between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid IL-10 levels in the CVST group.Conclusion:The medical reference interval of cerebrospinal fluid IL-10 by MBFFI in adults are determined in this study,that is<3.50 pg/ml,to pro-vide clinical reference for practical applications.

Objective:To explore the lifestyle pattern of the physical examination population and analyze its association with metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Based on the data of 196 515 physical examination individuals from the Health Management Center of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to December 2020, the subjects were grouped and characterized by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. Among them, 137 277 cases with MAFLD diagnosis information were included in the association analysis between lifestyle pattern and MAFLD. The differences in lifestyle pattern choice among different age, sex, education level, marital status, occupational category and medical insurance type and their differences with the risk of MAFLD were analyzed. The generalized linear mixed model was used to control confounding factors and then association analysis was conducted.Results:There were 6 types of lifestyle patterns in the physical examination population, which were respectively: indulgent type-both physical and mental damage, remedial type-excessive diet, giving type-unique intensity, comfortable type-natural health, heavy smoking type-sedentary injury, heavy drinking type-attempting to make up, accounting for 7.29%, 9.62%, 7.43%, 52.16%, 9.77%, 13.73% in the population. Among them, the male lifestyle pattern was mainly the indulgent type, the remedial type, the heavy smoking type and the heavy drinking type, showing the characteristics of unhealthy lifestyle pattern; Women tended to have healthier lifestyle patterns. After association analysis with MAFLD, it was found that the prevalence of MAFLD was more than 50% in the people who belonged to the indulgent type, remedial type, the heavy smoking type and the heavy drinking type (53.62%, 57.06%, 51.25% and 50.50%, respectively), and the prevalence of MAFLD in the giving type group was 40.17%. The risk of MAFLD in comfortable group was relatively low (28.25%), and the difference in risk of MAFLD among all modes was statistically significant after controlling for confounding factors ( P<0.001). Conclusion:According to cluster mining, there are 6 types of lifestyle patterns in the physical examination population, and the healthier lifestyle pattern has a lower risk of MAFLD.

Metaphorical narrative, as a kind of image, has a remarkable effect on the research of children’s psychological intervention. It is an important way of human cognition of the world, and its essence is the cross-domain mapping between the source domain and the target domain. Taking intractable diseases in children as an example, this paper illustrated the importance of metaphorical narrative in children’s diseases narrative, life and health education, disease science popularization, diseases notification, as well as the treatment communication. This paper aimed to arouse more researchers’ attention to the metaphorical narrative, actively apply metaphorical narrative to clinical practice, guide disease subjects to eliminate fear, accept diseases, so as to achieve the doctor-patients’ vision fusion and positively cooperate with clinical treatment. Not only can an appropriate metaphor help people get out of psychological difficulties, but it can renew a healthy life story.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and the correlation between CRT and pulmonary artery hemodynamic parameters. METHODS: The patients with chronic heart failure indicator for CRT were enrolled. The left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) was measured by echocardiography and New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification was evaluated between one week before and six months after CRT. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were measured by right heart catheterization. Left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) is defined as a decrease of 15% or more in LVESV at the 6th month after CRT; Clinical response is defined as a decrease of NYHA classification at or above grade 1 at the 6th month after CRT. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) was defined as mPAP≥25 mmHg. According to the response, patients were divided into 3 groups: group A (LVRR+clinical response), group B (no LVRR+clinical response) and group C (no LVRR+no clinical response). The changes of NYHA classification, echocardiographic and pulmonary hemodynamic parameters were observed in the 3 groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the differences in all-cause mortality, combined end-point events of death or re-hospitalization due to heart failure among different groups. RESULTS: A total of 45 patients with CRT implantation [aged (63.27±9.55) years, 36 males] were included. The average follow-up period was (33.76±11.50) months. Thirty-one patients (68.89%) were in group A, 9 of whom with PH. Eight patients (17.78%) were in group B, 7 of whom with PH. Six patients were in group C, all with PH. Cardiac function including NYHA classification, echocardiographic and pulmonary hemodynamic parameters had been significantly improved in group A after CRT implantation (<0.05). In group B, NYHA classification and pulmonary hemodynamic parameters were decreased significantly (<0.05), but echocardiographic parameters did not change obviously (>0.05). There were no significant changes in NYHA classification, echocardiographic and pulmonary hemodynamic parameters in group C (>0.05). Compared with group C, group A and group B had lower all-cause mortality (=0.005) and lower incidence of composite endpoint events (=0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with LVRR and clinical response after CRT have a good prognosis. Patients with clinical response but without LVRR have a better prognosis than those without clinical response and LVRR, which may be related to the decrease of pulmonary hemodynamic parameters such as mPAP and TPG.

To explore the safety and efficacy for radiofrequency ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) guided by Carto Univu three-dimensional mapping system.
 Methods: A total of 99 patients with PSVT underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) were assigned to a Carto Univu group (51 patients) and a two-dimensional X-ray group (48 patients) according to the mapping method. The operation time, X-ray exposure time, X-ray exposure dose, dose area product (DAP), operation success rate and complication rate were compared between the two groups.
 Results: The Carto Univu group and the two-dimensional X-ray group were not significant difference in the operation time, the X-ray exposure time of placing catheter, the X-ray DAP of placing catheter, the number of discharge, the discharge power, and the total discharge time (P>0.05). The mapping and ablation time, total exposure time, mapping and ablation DAP and total DAP in the Carto Univu group were significantly lower than those in the two-dimensional X-ray group (P<0.01). In the right accessory pathway cases, the mapping and ablation DAP and the total DAP in the Carto Univu group decreased compared with X-ray group (P<0.05), but it decreased more profound (P<0.01) in the left accessory pathway cases and the dual atrioventricular nodal pathways cases. Seven cases in the Carto Univu group achieved "zero X-ray", including 5 cases of the dual atrioventricular nodal pathways and 2 cases of the left accessory pathway. The immediate success rate for the two groups was 100%. After 3-12 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence in the Carto Univu group but 3 suspected recurrences in the two-dimensional X-ray group. In addition, no complications occurred in the two groups. 
 Conclusion: Carto Univu electroanatomic mapping system can guide PSVT safely and effectively during radiofrequency ablation and reduce radiation exposure to both doctors and patients. It is especially suitable for dual atrioventricular nodal pathways, which may even achieve "zero X-ray". Perhaps Carto Univu will be the first choice for RFCA of dual atrioventricular nodal pathways.

Objective Various factors may affect the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy or cardiac resynchronization and implantable cardioverter-defibrilator ( CRT/CRTD) in chronic heart failure patients ( CHF) .The aim of our study was to explore the correlation of age and gender with the effects of CRT/CRTD in chronic heart failure patients. Methods This study included 136 CHF patients, 92 males and 44 females, treated by CRT/CRTD from January 2005 to March 2015.We divided the patients into three age groups:≥70 yr (n=29), 50-70 yr (n=77), and <50 yr (n=30), and compared the baseline characteristics, CRT respon-ding rate and all-cause mortality among different groups.The CRT response was defined as the decrease of NYHA cardiac function≥1 grade and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) improvement ≥5%. Results In the 136 CHF patients, there were 72 CRT responders (53%), 52%in the≥70 yr group, 55%in the 50-70 yr group, and 50%in the <50 yr group, with no statistically sig-nificant differences among the three groups (P>0.05).However, the CRT responding rate was remarkably higher in the female than in the male patients (66%vs 47%, P=0.027).Cox multivariate and Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed no significant differences in all-cause mortality between different genders or age groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the left ventricular diastolic diameter and base QRS duration were independent factors of the CRT response. Conclusion Age does not affect the CRT response in chronic heart failure patients, while female patients have a higher CRT respon-ding rate than male patients.
